NOTES:

The blue “pegs” are sites listed on the EPA’s official June 2009 list of Coal combustion Residue Surface Impoundments as having a low hazard rating The hazard potential ratings do not assess the stability of these units; the ratings assess the potential for loss of life or environmental and economic damage.

The red “pegs” show sites that are listed on the EPA’s official June 2009 list of CCR Surface Impoundments with High Hazard Potential Ratings. This rating applies to sites at which a dam failure would most likely cause loss of human life, but does not assess of the likelihood of such an event.
